Game: Rate the TV Show (NOW - The Honeymooners)
LEADERBOARD:
I Love Lucy - 8.12 (5 of 15 people gave it a 10, TRL Girl gave it a 5 which is lowest rating)
NEXT UP:The Honeymooners
If you're not familiar with the show, here's the cast.
* Ralph Kramden, played by Jackie Gleason, is a bus driver for the fictional Gotham Bus Company. He is never seen driving a bus (except in publicity photos), but is shown multiple times at the bus depot. Ralph is frustrated by his lack of success, and often develops schemes designed to earn him and his wife a quick fortune. Ralph frequently resorts to insults and hollow threats of physical violence.
* Alice Kramden (née Gibson), played by Audrey Meadows, is Ralph's patient and quick-witted wife of fourteen years. Alice often finds herself bearing the brunt of Ralph's insults, but she usually returns them in equal measure.
* Edward "Ed" Norton, played by Art Carney, is a New York City sewer worker and Ralph's best friend. He is considerably more good-natured than Ralph, but nonetheless trades insults with him on a regular basis. Ed (typically called "Norton" by Ralph) often gets mixed up in Ralph's schemes, and his carefree nature usually results in raising Ralph's ire. Ed and Ralph are both members of the fictional Raccoon Lodge.
* Thelma "Trixie" Norton, played by Joyce Randolph, is Ed's caring wife and Alice's best friend. Like Ed and Alice, Trixie trades insults with Ralph on a regular basis.
It's a pretty funny show, but never quite as funny as I Love Lucy. Sort of like similar shows, except this show was short-lived after 39 episodes.
My rating is a 7
